This audio distills the essential lessons from the original book, exploring the surprising pitfalls of a high IQ, education, and expertise. Discover how to grasp the core insights in just 15 minutes.
Learn about "dysrationalia"-the gap between intelligence and rational thinking-and how cognitive biases, motivated reasoning, and even the structure of expertise can lead to significant errors in judgment for both individuals and groups.

But it's not all doom and gloom. This summary also illuminates the path to wiser decision-making through "evidence-based wisdom," cultivating intellectual humility, actively open-minded thinking, emotional self-awareness, and robust critical thinking skills.
